What is the Data and Metadata?
Data are things, known or assumed as facts, making the basis of reasoning or calculation.
Metadata is information about data.

Data Collection and Generation
Data collection is the process of gathering and measuring information on targeted variables in an established system. The purpose is to answer relevant questions or/and evaluate outcomes.
- Observational
- Statistical
- Simulation
Data Types
Data Formats
- Text, Picture, Audio, Video
- File; pdf, txt, csv, html, xml, nc, hdf
- Point, Line, Polygon
- 1D, 2D, 3D, xD
Data Sources
The location where data that is being used comes from.
Download and Get the Data
Interpretation and Visualization
Interpretation is the process of making sense of numerical data that has been collected, analyzed, and presented.
Visualization is the graphical representation of information and data.
Data Analysis
Data analysis is a process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming and modeling data with the goal of discovering useful information, informing conclusions and supporting decision-making.
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
In statistics, exploratory data analysis (EDA) is an approach to analyzing data sets to summarize their main characteristics, often with visual methods.
Big Data
Too large or complex data to be dealt with by traditional data-processing application and software.
Apache Point, New Mexico, US, 1995
ALMA, Atacama, Antofagasta Region, Chile
Data Mining
Data mining is the process of discovering patterns in large data sets.
Data Assimilation and Manipulation
Data assimilation is a mathematical discipline that seeks to optimally combine theory with observations.
Data manipulation; inserting, deleting, and modifying data in a database.
Data Science
Data science is a multi-disciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge from structured and unstructured data.
Code
Operational Systems
An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware, software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.
Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, Linux
Programming Languages
Algorithm
The algorithm is a set of instructions, typically to solve a class of problems or perform a computation.
Simulation
The simulation is an approximate imitation of the operation of a process or system; that represents its operation over time.
Modelling
Model is a description of a system using mathematical concepts. The aim of modeling is to understand easier a particular part or feature of thing.
Artificial İntelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes include learning, reasoning and self-correction.
Machine Learning
Machine learning (ML) is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use to perform a specific task without using explicit instructions.
1997, Deep Blue vs Garry Kasparov
Deep Learning
Deep learning is part of a family of machine learning methods based on artificial neural networks.
Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines. IoT has the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
